Bill Murray has joined the cast of Disney’s “The Jungle Book” as the voice of Baloo the Bear.

Previously announced cast include Christopher Walken as King Louie, Giancarlo Esposito as Akela, Ben Kingsley and Lupita Nyong’o as Bagheera and Raksha, respectively; Idris Elba as Shere Khan; Scarlett Johansson as Kaa; and newcomer Neel Sethi as Mowgli.

“The Jungle Book” will combine live-action and animation with Jon Favreau directing from a script by Justin Marks. The film will be released in 3D and open on Oct. 9, 2015.

Hopefully this will go better than his voice acting stint on Garfield...

"I-it's...a girl..." "I thought Kaa was a guy..."

Anyway, how does this make you feel?

To be fair; Johansson's voice can be husky enough at times to maybe "possibly" sound like a guy. Although in the grand scheme of things it certainly is an odd choice, yeah. :S
